With news reports of bank websites being compromised, and personal information being stolen, it’s hard not to forget about the would be hackers and their quest to take over the world. (Ok, maybe not that last bit)
Well, it has come to our attention that on a Windows based web server with the PHP setting “register_globals” enabled, a hacker could use Pixelpost maliciously to read files located on the server.
If you are running Pixelpost v1.7.1, and are on a Windows server, please download the security patch below to play it safe. (It won’t hurt you if you’re on a Linux box either)
If you are running a version of Pixelpost older than 1.7.1, we recommend you upgrade to the latest version, which is available on our home page, as it already includes this patch. That way your photoblog will be safe and sound.

Do the words, “One Click Install” and “Automatic Update” sound good to you? Well if your web server runs on Debian Linux, both of these can be a reality, thanks to the hard work of Xavier Lüthi!
Installing Pixelpost can now be as simple as typing this single command: sudo apt-get install pixelpost
It doesn’t get much better than that!
You can find out more about Xavier, and his Pixelpost endeavors over at his blog: http://www.luthi.eu/blog/
That’s right, the blog is back, and so is our featured site section. In fact, if you have any favorite Pixelpost powered sites that have both great photos and a great design, feel free to submit it!
Our blog will be offline while we perform some maintenance on it. It should be back again in a week or two. In the mean time, feel free to check out the forums for the latest news.
Dmitri Popov has written a great article about Pixelpost over on Linux.com. The whole Pixelpost Crew is thrilled to have Pixelpost featured on such a great website. If you are new to Pixelpost, I’d highly recommend you check it out.
Today, the Defensio addon has been updated to version 1.3.1.
This release fixes a few problems users were experiencing. Namely, if a comment is flagged as spam, Pixelpost will no longer send you a comment notification e-mail. This should help keep your inbox much cleaner. Also, several users reported an issue with Defensio not being able to include it’s function libraries. This too has been fixed.
So if you are a Defensio user, grab the new version from the Extend section today!
You know what’s best about open source applications such as Pixelpost?
Everyone has the ability to look at our code and make sure that everything is secure.
Well, as it turns out, someone did just that, and found a security flaw.
So it’s highly recommend that everyone upgrade as soon as possible to prevent any possible security breaches.
And if you’re a security conscious person, you may want to change your password just to play it safe.
The latest version can be downloaded here:
http://www.pixelpost.org/releases/pixelpost_v1.7.1.zip
Simply upload the new Pixelpost files, and login and you should be ready to go!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to announce the immediate release of Pixelpost v1.7 (FINAL)!
What does this mean to me?
If you currently have a Pixelpost photoblog, you might want to upgrade in order to take advantage of the new super cool features, addons, and latest security measures.
Or if you don’t have a photoblog, its never been easer to get started! As our new install assistant basically installs itself!
For the complete list of changes, check out the New Features page.
How do I Install/Upgrade Pixelpost?
We have documentation for this very thing:

NOTE: Prior to upgrading, please remove all Askimet related addons from your addons folder.
So, what are you waiting for… download Pixelpost v1.7 and let us know what you think!
Greetings All Pixelpost Users!
We’re just about ready to release the brand new Pixelpost v1.7, which I believe is our BEST version ever, but unfortunately, we have been experiencing some issues with our website.
Rest assured, we are working to bring pixelpost.org back online as soon as possible, but in the mean time, you can still access the site using this alternate address: http://pixelpost.myd3.com/
Thanks again for using Pixelpost!
Update:
The problems with pixelpost.org have been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to announce the immediate release of Pixelpost v1.7 Release Candidate 1!
What does this mean to me?
If you’re the kind of person who likes to live life on the edge so to speak, you can now download Pixelpost 1.7 before we release the public version later next week.
Is this like a BETA or something?
No, not quite. It’s a release candidate, which means, if nobody finds any serious bugs in this RC, we will use that as the official public version.
So it’s VERY important to post your results here, especially if you encounter any bugs/errors.
So, what are you waiting for… download the RC and let us know what you think!
